Domaine de Courbissac Minervois Roc du Piere 2014

Rating: 90 WS

This is youthful and vigorous, as saturated in purple flavors as it is in color. The tannins are intense but so is the plummy fruit, combining in a chewy generosity of flavor. The fine, smooth minerality adds a sleekness to the wine that suggests this will get more elegant with time. (Wine & Spirits)

Aalto 2015
Tempranillo from Ribera del Duero, Spain

Rating: 93 WS

This bold red is rich and mouthfilling, with ripe plum and currant fruit mingling with cocoa, espresso and mineral notes. The big tannins are well-integrated, and balsamic acidity keeps this focused. Generous but remains balanced. Drink now through 2027. (Wine Spectator)

This 2014 wine features aromas of Mediterranean herbs and red fruit on the nose which leads to great acidity and juiciness on the palate. Finish is lively and the perfect balance of freshness and rusticity. A traditional old-vine blend of Carmenere, Carignan, and Pais, it is left unoaked to offer the purest expression of fruit. (Winemaker's notes)

This lot includes two bottles of Paul Jaboulet Aine wine:

Biographie Cotes-du-Rhone

Northern style Côtes du Rhône, with beautiful fresh Syrah character. Notes of wild berries, white pepper, lavender and cherries. This balanced red finishes with incredibly juicy Grenache love. (Winemaker's notes)

Jaboulet Parallele 45

This wine reveals plenty of peppery, black raspberry, cassis, and cherry fruit, surprising density, a velvety texture, and a long, heady finish. (Winemaker's notes)

Monterustico Piemonte Rosso 2014

Rating: 87 CT

A red wine from one of Barolo's most prestigious families (Vajra) with notes of cranberry, raspberry, anise and a dusty minerality.

This lot includes two bottles of wine, each rated a "Best Buy" by Wine Enthusiast.

Casal Garcia Vinho Verde

Rating: 85 WE "Best Buy"

This is classic, off-dry Vinho Verde. With its light prickle, crisp fruit that has a tangy lime and lemon character that comes through the candy flavor, it is a refreshing, light wine. (Wine Enthusiast)

Casal Garcia Douro

Rating: 86 WE "Best Buy"

While the familiar white version of this wine is from Vinho Verde, the producers have gone a little further south to the Douro for the red. That gives a soft wine but with weight and attractive layers of red-berry fruits and a touch of warmth. Drink now. (Wine Enthusiast)

This package is for a case (12 bottles) of Chateau Ste Michelle Cold Creek Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Rating: 92 RP

The inky colored 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Cold Creek Vineyard checks in as 100% Cabernet and saw 22 months in 64% French and American oak. Ripe, sexy, textured and with real density, it gives up lots of chocolate, caramelized plum, vanilla bean, and currant-like aromas and flavors. It has the texture to drink nicely even today, but I'm sure it will keep for at least a decade. (Robert Parker)
